Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJ133S engine
The timing chain served very little on the engines in the early years before the resource expanded to 150,000 kilometers;
Additionally, the supercharger drive’s damper sleeve breaks down over time;
Rarely, but occasionally, this motor’s valve seats come loose;
The throttle and nozzles must be cleaned frequently because the engine dislikes poor fuel;
Heat exchanger leaks and burst pipes are the remaining issues.
